Vermont
We gathered in the Green Mountains of Vermont as a council and community for our first Thrymskapr Thing.
The word “thing” in Old Norse means assembly or gathering. Together, 60 of us immersed ourselves into a weekend full of drumming, drum-crafting, rune wisdom, nature and community ritual.
Thailand
In Thailand we spent an incredible two weeks of learning, cultural exchange, ritual practices that fused Northern European and Southeast Asian tradition, and so much fun took place, a scenario beyond our wildest dreams.
We crafted drums together and then, utilizing our own handiwork, learned and shared rhythms carried through ancient times.
Alabama
In an old brick building in Alabama stands a hidden gem, the Lowe Mill. Built in 1900, this impressive brick complex houses Ravenwood, a meadary, shop and lively event space that serves as a major hub for its community.
The history of the region is palpable. Spirits of distant times witnessed our joy and festivities. We would like to think they too reveled in the music, sharing and connection.
